QUAKE DONE 100% QUICKEST


INTRODUCTION:

   'Quake done 100% Quickest' is a run through all of Quake on Nightmare
   skill, going through the levels as fast as possible, killing every
   single monster and finding every single secret in every single map
   of Quake. This is the sequel to the very popular - and outdated -
   'Quake done 100% Quicker' which was released way back on the 5th
   of January, 2000. Speedrunning has come a looong way since then!


INSTALLATION:

   First you need to find your main Quake directory. This probably has
   the name 'Quake' and will contain such items as your Quake executable
   programs (such as quake.exe, or winquake.exe, or glquake.exe...) and
   your Id1 subdirectory. (Mac users may be more used to the term
   'folder' than directory)

   You should make a subdirectory of this main directory. Give it
   whatever name you like; for the purposes of these instructions we
   will assume you have called it 'qd100qst'.

   The qd100qst.dz/zip file should contain 3 files which should
   be unzipped into the qd100qst directory. These 3 files are:

   pak0.pak - contains all the data for the demo
   qd100qst.txt - this text file you are reading
   autoexec.cfg - pre-set settings


RUNNING THE MOVIE:

   Now to run the movie, start Quake with the command-line option
   '-game qd100qst'

   The movie is played from a menu interface, so that you can choose
   to play the whole movie, or individual episodes, or individual
   levels. Using the menu should be mostly self-explanatory! 

   You can use the following keys during playback:

   F1  / slow-mo
   F2  / normal speed
   F3  / fast forward
   F5  / backwards (JoeQuake only)
   F9  / skips to the next demo
   F10 / return to menu
   F12 / quits


TIMING:

   Just a quick explanation of why we say we completed Quake in
   48:00. We recorded every demo separately and then connected them
   together, adding the times for the four episodes plus the end level.


HOW THE RUN WAS RECORDED:

   We recorded each demo separately, on skill 3 (Nightmare), of course
   without any cheating. To start with the correct stats we ended the
   previous level with, we used a QuakeC patch that allowed us to
   select the statistics we started with. There are no weapons in the
   higher levels, because you should have them already from previous
   ones. And we did it by connecting single demos together because the
   final product is a lot more interesting that way and entertaining,
   and we could include some very cool tricks that we couldn't do had
   we recorded it in one sitting.


STATISTICS:

WORDS FROM THE CO-ORDINATOR:

   This project had its origin back in April 2001 when the project page 
   was first set up and the first few demos were submitted. It originally 
   started as a semi-secret one-man project undertaken by me (Thomas 
   Stubgaard), and it was meant to be done and out the door fairly
   quickly. Here, over 10 years later we can finally put a lid on the
   project.

   Peter Horvath, who is known as one of the best, if not, THE best,
   Quake speedrunner of all time, had made some demos which I deemed too
   difficult for me to beat at that time. I hadn't evolved much as a
   speedrunner yet, so some things were just too wicked for me to
   attempt. Now, over 10 years later as mentioned above, Peter's demos
   are STILL included in the project, so perhaps that gives you a clue as
   to how good he was compared to the rest of us 'mortals', or maybe we
   just sucked a lot more than he did :-)

   I only got about a 3rd of the way before the project stalled due to
   lack of motivation and whatnot. After about 1 year abscence, I picked
   it up again and I started taking a serious stab at quite a few demos
   in a short amount of time, and on February 8th, 2005, we opened up the
   project for the general public so anyone could submit demos. Not a lot
   did though, but some of the few who did ended up making some really
   good demos which are included in the final release. It also helped
   with injecting some new life and renewed motivation into the project,
   something which was much needed. It was around this time too, that we
   released a preview of the project which we dubbed 'Quake done 100%
   Quick with a Vengeance Episode 1 Preview'. Only a few of the demos from
   the preview ended up in this release.

   As I've already mentioned twice, it has taken us over 10 years to get
   this far, and I think the end result shows just how much effort that
   has been put into this. I believe this has been the longest running
   project of any in all of SDA's glorious lifespan, which dates back
   exactly three years before this project was started.

   If my memory doesn't fail me, e4m3 (a slower demo from February 2001)
   was the first demo to be submitted to the project, and e4m6 was the
   last one. It's a shame we didn't get to finish all the recams in time
   for the release, but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. The Quake
   speedrunning community has seen better days, and only a few are left
   to deal with all the technical mumbo jumbo and such, and even less are
   still around to do recams and demos of top notch quality. Even fewer
   still are left to tell the tale of how Quake speedrunning has evolved
   since the early days of the QdQ brand to the start of SDA to now, and
   hopefully this release will spur a little more interrest into what SDA
   has laid its foundations on.
